O thou who gavest power to love

Author: Mandell Creighton, 1843-1901 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #682 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O thou who gavest power to love that we might fix our hearts on thee, preparing us for joys above by that which here on earth we see; 2 thy Spirit trains our souls to know the growing purpose of thy will, and gives to love the power to show that purpose growing larger still: 3 larger, as love to reverent eyes makes manifest another soul, and shows to life a richer prize, a clearer course, a nobler goal. 4 Lord, grant thy servants who implore thy blessing on the hearts they blend, that from that union evermore new joys may blossom to the end. 5 Make what is best in each combine to purge all earthly dross away, to strengthen, purify, refine, to beautify each coming day. 6 So may they hand in hand advance along life’s path from troubles free; brave to meet adverse circumstance because their love points up to thee.

O, deem not they are blest alone

Author: William Cullen Bryant Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #691 (1886) Lyrics: 1 O, deem not they are blest alone Whose lives a peaceful tenor keep; For God, who pities man, hath shown A blessing for the eyes that weep. 2 The light of smiles shall fill again The lids that overflow with tears, And weary hours of woe and pain Are promises of happier years. 3 There is a day of sunny rest For every dark and troubled night, And grief may bide an evening guest, 4 Nor let the good man's trust depart, Though life its common gifts deny; Though with a sad and broken heart, He sees his hopes most cherished die. 5 For God has marked each sorrowing day, And numbered every secret tear, And heaven's long age of bliss shall pay For all his children suffer here.

Weeping endures but for a night

Author: Annie R. Smith Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #692 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Weeping endures but for a night, Joy cometh with the morning light; Joy cometh of celestial birth, Unsullied by the blight of earth. 2 Joy comes each faithful heart to thrill, That fears of change no more will chill; Transporting joy, that fills the soul While everlasting ages roll. 3 Then, mourning pilgrim, upward gaze; Beyond this dark and thorny maze A joy for every tear is found, A healing balm for every wound. 4 No sorrow there shall dim the eye, No wintry winds or storms are nigh, No sighs borne on the fragrant air; But all shall in the glory share. 5 Awake, for lo, not distant far, The rising of the Morning Star; O watch to catch the new-born ray That ushers in a cloudless day. 6 Hail! glorious morn, whose radiant light Shall bid the darkness take its flight; Shall chase the shades of gloom away, And night be turned to endless day.

Not all the nobles of the earth

Author: Samuel Stennett Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #693 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Not all the nobles of the earth, Who boast the honors of their birth, So high a dignity can claim, As those who bear the Christian name. 2 To them the privilege is given To be the sons and heirs of heaven; Sons of the God who reigns on high, And heirs of joy beyond the sky. 3 He teaches their young feet the way, And early leads them to obey; Whispers instruction to their minds, And on their hearts his precepts binds. 4 Their daily wants his hands supply, Their steps he guards with watchful eye; Leads them from earth to heaven above, And crowns them with eternal love.

O God, Great Father, Lord and King

Author: E. Embree Hoss Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #801 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O God, great Father, Lord and King, our children unto you we bring. We come in faith and hope and love; we dare your steadfast word to prove. 2 Your covenant blessing did of old our parents and their seed enfold. That ancient promise stands secure and shall while heaven and earth endure. 3 Look down upon us while we pray and visit us in grace today. These little ones you did receive; your precious promise we believe. 4 They now the outward sign receive; your promised Holy Spirit give. O keep and help them by your power in every hard and trying hour. 5 Direct their feet in holy ways and shine on them through darkest days. Uphold them till their life is past and bring them all to heaven at last. Topics: Elements of Worship Baptism Scripture: Genesis 17:7 Languages: English Tune Title: MELCOMBE

New every morning is the love

Author: John Keble, 1792-1866 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #815 (1997) Lyrics: 1 New every morning is the love our wakening and uprising prove; through sleep and darkness safely brought, restored to life and power and thought. 2 New mercies each returning day around us hover while we pray, new perils past, new sins forgiven, new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven. 3 If on our daily course our mind be set to hallow all we find, new treasures still of countless price God will provide for sacrifice. 4 The trivial round, the common task, will furnish all we ought to ask, room to deny ourselves, a road to bring us daily nearer God. 5 Only, O Lord, in thy dear love fit us for perfect rest above, and help us, this and every day to live more nearly as we pray.

God is the refuge of his saints

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #835 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 God is the refuge of his saints, when storms of sharp distress invade; ere we can offer our complaints, behold him present with his aid! 2 Let mountains from their seats be hurled down to the deep, and buried there, convulsions shake the solid world, our faith shall never yield to fear. 3 Loud may the troubled ocean roar; in sacred peace our souls abide; while every nation, every shore, trembles, and dreads the swelling tide. 4 There is a stream, whose gentle flow supplies the city of our God, life, love, and joy, still gliding through, and watering our divine abode: 5 that sacred stream, thine holy word, that all our raging fear controls; sweet peace thy promises afford, and give new strength to fainting souls. 6 Sion enjoys her Monarch's love, secure against a threatening hour; nor can her firm foundations move, built on his truth, and armed with power.
